Just dropping this here. You might want to bring an umbrella on this delightfully damp St. Swithin's Day. #HorrorWritersChat

It's only a few days to #WomenWritersNet monthly ##SkyChat. Join us to discuss #writing in the #summerholidays. Thursday 16 July 6pm BST. Hope to see you there - pass it on!

Hey Bluesky #writers, spread the word... #WriteStuff leads a #WritingCommunity chat tomorrow at 9:00 ET|6:00 PT - join us! Our topic will be: Killing Time Is Murder

It was yet another great #WeeknightWriters. Thanks so much! I'm fading fast so I'm going to say "goodnight" now. It's 8 pm here. Time to hit the snooze button for the night. See everyone next Thursday!

#WeeknightWriters Upcoming in Oct - Creepy Podcast's reading of my short horror story WHEN THE ABYSS STARES BACK. Also in Oct - my book reading at a local witchcraft store. Reading from 1 freebie and 2 in books for sale.

#WeeknightWriters A5 - Remind me to crank up the AC! I doubt I'll need nudging since it's HOT & I get sick in high heat and humidity. I haven't come up with any story ideas lately but I want to write. I need to brainstorm. Right now, I'm drawing a blank so I'll just enjoy summer for the time being.

#WeeknightWriters A4 - Keep the AC on! That will definitely make my life more pleasant. We'll go to a vintage baseball game Sunday. Rules are from 1864. No gloves. Throw the ball underhanded. You get one bounce per catch for an out. 1864 uniforms. Sometimes the umpire wears a top hat and tails! Fun!

#WeeknightWriters A3 - The TV show WIDOW'S BAY brought me lots of joy. I live where it was filmed! I love seeing all the local sites. Season 2 is likely to be filmed here. Looking forward to it! Might apply to be an extra or at least watch filming. I'm in a fan group on Fb which is great fun.

#WeeknightWriters A2 - Not struggling with anything in particular except for this !@#$% heat. It makes me sick. I've been enjoying all the free time w/my husband since retiring. My hip replacement is almost completely healed! I soon won't need a cane. Not writing ATM. Subbing stories, though.

#WeeknightWriters A1 - I was sick with some kind of stomach bug for the past few days so I've been resting. The heat got to me, too. I'm also retired now! So is my husband. We've been to candle-making classes, a Gothic faire, and vintage baseball. Such fun! Coming soon - TWO Ren Faires!

#WeeknightWriters I'm Trish Wilson. I was the Media Director for The Horror Zine, which has closed. I'm still waiting word on three subs. I'm also doing a book reading at a local witchcraft store for Halloween. Reading from three stories and selling books. I'm psyched!

Join tonight's #WeeknightWriters chat at 7 - 9PM EST for a candid discussion about the joys and struggles of the writing life

#HorrorWritersChat I had a blast as usual. I'm also feeling considerably better. The heat got to me, and I felt sick and pukey. Still a bit meh and tired, but most of it has passed. Now to eat Chinese and watch GRANTCHESTER. See all ya next week!

#HorrorWritersChat My quirky humor, odd characters (who tend to be snarky), and my plot twists attract readers who would reread it to see how it evolved so that the surprises were hinted at all along. Feel like an idiot. LOL

#HorrorWritersChat I knew I was trapped in a particular video game when I saw bugs crawling across my screen. I also hallucinated the rooms growing smaller and my head popping off. Such fun! LOL

#HorrorWritersChat My husband used to work for Hasbro so I'd have to have my story FOG OVER MONS made into a video/computer game. FOG OVER MONS is based on the WWI legend of the Angels of Mons. Google the legend. It's fascinating. It would also make a kick-ass game.

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Trish Wilson. Was the Media Director for The Horror Zine until it shut down recently. I and the owner retired. Woo hoo! I write quiet horror and horror comedy. My favorite horror video/computer game is Darkfall. Takes place in an abandoned train station. Quite unnerving!

Tonight on #WriteStuff, we will be discussing satire. See you at 9PM New York City time.

Thanks for another great #HorrorWritersChat, Gree! Here are two links to free stories: The Inn At The Edge of Blood and Ruin www.anotherealm.com/2023/ar01032... Willful Child www.aphelion-webzine.com/shorts/2022/...

#HorrorWritersChat I love the White Lie - leave out just enough information to give the MC the creeps when the full truth is discovered. Either the creeps or rage at being taken advantage of. The latter comes with some nasty results, often revenge.

#HorrorWritersChat My characters fall into one of the Seven Deadly Sins, especially lust. The MC in one story fell into lust before he learns his lover is a ghost of a woman murdered for taking a lover. Another meets a creature disguised as a past lover & meets an untimely end after doing it.

#HorrorWritersChat I like it when my characters tell the truth but leave out vital details - a white lie. In my story THE HOUSE NEXT DOOR a tourist in the Lizzie Borden B&B meets a woman & doesn't know she's a ghost. When she asks the woman if the house is haunted, she smiles & says, "It is."

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Trish Wilson. I write quiet horror & horror comedy. My favorite horror lie: I loved the promos for THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT pretending it was real. I went to college near Burkettsville & I know all the legends of that area. Lots of cool stuff but there was no Blair Witch.

Good afternoon, #HorrorWritersChat! It is wonderfully cool today, and a storm is raging outside! A perfect weather for tonight. I am EXTREMELY excited for tonight's topic, as it is one of my favourite choices. When a promise is false. When hope is but an illusion. Tonight, the horror of LIES.

Hey Bluesky #writers, spread the word... #WriteStuff leads a #WritingCommunity chat tomorrow at 9:00 ET|6:00 PT - join us! Our topic will be: What Would Your Mother [Nature] Say?

Sorry, #HorrorWritersChat, but my internet connection is suddenly wonky. BlueSky and the chat aren't loading properly. It's on for now so I'll be brief. I'll say "goodbye" now - until next week. Have a great one, everyone!

#HorrorWritersChat - Already wrote one! The MC is based on my hubby and his stay in a hospital with a leg infection. In the story, guess what comes flying out when the doc cuts into it? These faeries also have teeth. That was a fun story to write. It's called INFECTION.

#HorrorWritersChat - I'm Trish Wilson and I write quiet horror and horror comedy. I was the Media Director for The Horror Zine, which has shut its doors. We aren't talking about Disney fairies. Folklore fairies are nasty critters & you don't want to mess with them. They aren't Tinkerbelle.

Is it that time again #HorrorwritersChat? It just might be...

#WeeknightWriters - Well, it's late and I'm fading fast. I had a blast here as I always do. Now, time to wind down and get ready for bed. Take care everyone and see you next Thursday!

#WeeknightWriters - Submit & write more stories, work on a novel. Go to the Victorian Gothic Market Saturday and vintage baseball next week for fun. Also, walk on the beach when my hip stops complaining. I miss my beach walks. I also finished WIDOW'S BAY, which was filmed here! Such fun!

#WeeknightWriters Hubby and I are going to a vintage baseball game in about a week. It's played with 1860s rules & vintage uniforms. The umpire wears a top hat and tails! Think of the movie FIELD OF DREAMS. There is even a cornfield out there! We bring lawn chairs and hang out. Great fun!

#WeeknightWriters - Going to a Strawberry Festival with my husband gave me joy. We saw lots of booths and even a vintage car show. We saw everything but strawberries. They were inside a building we never made it to. So a strawberry festival with no strawberries. LOL

#WeeknightWriters - I'm struggling with life stuff. Applying for Medicare before the end of June with my husband. Missing The Horror Zine. Recovering from knee and hand surgery. Hoping for more acceptances. Trying to take it easy. It's not too bad but it's all at once.

#WeeknightWriters - The Horror Zine was around for about 15 years & it ended on a high note. One of my short horror stories will be on a podcast in Oct. I'm also doing a reading at a Wiccan store on Samhain. Waiting word on three subs. Things are in upheaval health and career-wise but I'm well.

#WeeknightWriters - I'm Trish Wilson and I write quiet horror and horror comedy. I was the Media Director of The Horror Zine, which has permanently closed as of yesterday. The Editor in Chief is moving & wanted to end on a high note. I miss it already. I'm working on 3 WIPs. Also had an acceptance!

#WomenWritersNet Hey, everyone, sorry to cut out early but something came up and I have to leave. I'll be here next time. Everyone enjoy the weekend!

SAVE THE DATE: this Thursday 18th June at 6 pm BST/GMT, our monthly #WomenWritersNet Bluesky chat! Come meet other #writers over a virtual discussion. An unmissable topic: Writing as a Second or Parrallel Career 'See you' there! #SkyChat #WritingLife #WritingCommunity #WomenWriters

For everyone including #HorrorWritersChat. Although The Horror Zine is now closed, you may still read it at The Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) Just plug in www.thehorrorzine.com and choose any month you like. Read!

#HorrorWritersChat I'm not sure they're underrated, but I go with: Charlotte Perkins Gilman - THE YELLOW WALLPAPER is frightening because 1) it's so real and 2) it applies to this day. M. R. James - I adore CASTING THE RUNES. I own a shirt based on the movie - NIGHT OF THE DEMON.

#HorrorWritersChat No contest - Edgar Allan Poe. I was born in Baltimore, where he died. You don't live in Baltimore & not know about Poe. I've been to the Poe house & the churchyard where he's buried. I even saw a Poe opera! We'd co-write a horror satire. I love NEVER BET THE DEVIL YOUR HEAD.

#HorrorWritersChat I wrote a story based on Poe's BERENICE that was published. I've also resurrected my main characters from my TRAILER TRASH ZOMBIES short story to turn into a novel. With a title like that it's obvious it's a horror comedy. :)

#HorrorWritersChat I'm Trish Wilson. Sad news. As of today, The Horror Zine is closing. Jeani Rector, Editor in Chief, has decided to shut the zine down. I am Media Director Emeritus. I shall miss the Zine, but it ends on a high note! Vampires! "Carmilla" is one of my faves. Love Hammer Films.

WOO HOO! ACCEPTANCE! My short horror story WHEN THE ABYSS STARES BACK shall soon appear on a podcast. I'm psyched! I'll post again when I have more information. I'm doing the Happy Dance. Now, it's time to share some celebratory champagne with my husband. 🍾 🥂 #shortstories #podcast #horror

Short version: Stop liking what I don't like! Also, horror is much more than just slashers. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026... #horrormovies #slashermovies #quiethorror #horror
